Ishana (Sanskrit: ईशान, IAST: Īśāna), is a Hindu god and the dikapala of the northeast direction. He is often considered to be one of the forms of the god Shiva,[2][3] and is also often counted among the eleven Rudras.[3] He is venerated in Hinduism,[4][2][5] some schools of Buddhism[6] and Jainism.[7] In the Vastu Shastra, the north-eastern corner of a plot of land is referred to as "Ishana".[8] Ishana also shares qualities with Samhara Bhairava and is therefore a part of the Ashta Bhairava.
